How did your love story begin?

I was working at a big box store with his younger brother, Jon. Jon wanted to go to the movies and hang out and asked could his brother come along. I thought he meant a kid brother, not an older brother. We hit it off that evening.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

I love opera. He doesn’t. For my birthday several years ago he got me surprise tickets to my favorite opera, Madame Butterfly at Bass Hall in Fort Worth. Our seats were so close I could see wig lines! When the orchestra started I just cried at the experience of it all. I’ll never forget it.

What would you do with $20,000?

Either finish renovating our current house or sell and by a retirement property.
